Another day, another yoga class!
As it goes, I had too much to cram into the day, so I wasn't able (or I didn't) leave work early. Not really rocking my Work/Lifestyle Balance new years resolution. Oh well, at least my workaholic tendencies are because I find my work so interesting, and it gives me a strong sense of purpose. The pace is demanding, so I just absorbed. I suppose there could be worse things than feeling engaged with one's work!
Got home at 7:15pm, and had to run to make it to the 7:30pm class. I had just one choice, Kundalini. I would've chosen a less demanding class if I could've. My hamstrings are a little sore from all those squats! So what did I end up doing tonight??
SQUAT COUNT - 128!!
OMG Gloria, you are killing me!
I think it may have been even more, my mind had trouble keeping count. On top of the squats (that is, many varieties of squats!), we bent over our wide spread straight legs over and over and over again, tapping each foot. We did boat with legs moving in and out, many variations of a sit-up, leg raises, some dancing, and bunch of other stuff.
And also a set of what has become my nemesis - "ye ole plank with knee bent in and held for longer than I can do it"! First to nose, then to tricep, and then to bicep. Left knee and right knee. Phew that's a hard one! Body shaking, sweat dripping!
I usually do Kundalini just once a week. The odd time twice a week. But never before three times a week!
Tonights class actually felt easier than the kundalini on Monday and Wednesday. I wonder - was it a more gentle class, or am I just getting stronger?!
